The topics, guests, and questions are top notch. If you haven’t checked out Tom’s other work i highly recommend giving it them a listen.
You don’t always have to solve the problem first to have the conversation. I love listening to the people Tom brought into the conversation. Looking forward to hearing more voices.
I’ve known Tom for years and he’s definitely the best in the game in conversation. Not only does he know how to pull info out of you to make you sound like the best you, he knows how to steer the ship properly so the conversation has a nice flow and form. I really enjoyed being a part of this new podcast early on and I look forward to many more great conversations to listen to.
Listened to the first three. Solid! Nice to hear on these topics of the varied guests. Tom is a good interviewer and has interesting insights himself. Fun listen
